I wanted to make a birthday card for a friend who loves purple and irises so I used Natasha's sketch and the colors from the Color Queue Challenge (CQC182). I used Kitchen Sink Stamps to create this 4 step stamped flower. The butterfly and sentiment are from PaperTrey.

So... bad news... it's still been all wintery this past week. Sigh. We got hit with another large batch of snow on Monday, about half a foot. Doesn't sound like much... but add that to the 140cm we've already had this winter and it's getting quite tiresome! I want spring, and flowers, and lots of sunshine... I think you might catch that vibe in this week's card :)

Just an update on the pdf files. They are coming... eventually. The software I use to compile the sketches is on my PC, which I don't have set up. I'll get to these as soon as I can, hold tight!!

Here's the sketch:

Some measurements:
The card itself is approximately 4.25x4.25. The actual card stock is more like 4.25x8.75. There's about a half inch extra in order to make the top tab.
Next layer is 4x4
The image layer is 2.5x2.5, with a 2-5/8 x2-5/8 frame.

Hi, everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. :) I just wanted to pop in and share the card I created using the most recent FTL231 sketch. I tried so hard to keep this card CAS, but something tells me I failed. LOL! What can I say? I love bling! :)

Here is this week's sketch. I made the sketch rather specific, but you can definitely look beyond the images that I used. The main idea is to have a mostly one layer creation. It should be square and it should have some sort of fun element that extends off of the card front.

Here's my project:

Supplies:

Stamps: Up, Up and Away, Stylish Sentiments: Birthday

Paper: Spring Rain, White

Ink: Tuxedo Black

Accessories, etc: Felt, Cloud Die, Balloon Die, Copic

As always if you play along, feel free to post a link to your project:

Hi friends. I thought that I'd pop in real quick to share with you a card that I made for this challenge. I love the spring colors that I used on this card and am very happy with the way that it turned out and hope that you are too. It was so easy to make just cutting a few layers, two die-cuts and then stamping my leaves and sentiment directly onto the white card stock.

Not much to say as far as dimensions go. It's your standard A5 card. The main layer is 3.5x4.75. I wanted some fun texture. I stamped my kraft cardstock, cut out the leaves, then edged the sides with the tea ink. The flowers were stamped, then I over stamped with vintage cream.
